Dementia By: Kailie Glanovsky

What is it? It affects: ▫Memory ▫Thinking ▫ language ▫judgment ▫behavior Many people with this disease feel alone

Causes What can lead to dementia:  Parkinson’s disease  Multiple Sclerosis (MS)  Huntington’s disease  Progressive super nuclear palsy

Treatment  Some causes can be revered or stopped if found soon enough.  Brain tumors  Metabolic causes  Chronic alcohol abuse  Psychotherapy or group therapy usually does not help because it may cause confusion

Types of Dementia  Alzheimer’s disease: over time more brain cells fail and slowly you will decline mentally.  vascular dementia (multi-infract dementia) : Lots of tiny strokes occurs which cuts off blood supply to parts of the brain. Good control of blood pressure, good diabetic control and avoiding cigarettes can help slow progress.  Lewy body dementia: may be very sensitive to effects of some used to control behavior.  Alcohol related dementia: people with this should give up drinking completely to stop the diseases progression.

Prevention/prognosis  Reduce risks of vascular dementia which is caused by small strokes by quitting smoking and controlling high blood pressure and diabetes. Mild cognitive compartment do not always develop dementia  Thyroid problems, depression, infections, vitamin deficiencies can be mistaken for dementia. Ask your doctor for a full medical assessment.

What can you do?  Try not to get frustrated with them.  Make sure they know that you are there to help.  Don’t make them do anything they don’t want to.

Facts  5% aged 65 and 20% those over 80 will get dementia.  Dementia is not caused by stress,  Not caused by infectious diseases,  Not caused by too little or too much mental activity. December 28, 2008
